A long way from Europe...

Fascinating stuff, thanks OUA. I do wonder about the aerodynamic effect (not to mention wind chill) of the chap standing up in the rear cockpit!

Re the new challenge. Is that a perhaps VH prefix on the wing?

Getting very warm Max.

Are we in Queensland, possibly Bundaberg.

With a Holden Panel Van in the background and the gent in the suit looks very much like Sir Donald Anderson I would say Australia is a good bet.

We are indeed in the lucky country but Queensland it is not.

First clue: the fight originated in Victoria.

Tasmania? Somewhere like Devonport?

A bigger island than Tasmania...

A second clue now our Antipodean cousins are stirring:

This Ansett ANA ‘Victoria Skycoach’ service operated in Spring 1964 (photo).

Tullamarine?

Most kind, but lacking an opportunity today to trawl through the old strips of the Aussie outback, can I at least assist with the following to boot back to the N.Hemisphere day shift, which I'm hoping will be useful in the context of the second clue:

p.s. As brown dirt and Holdens (sadly no longer) were pretty ubiquitous down here in the DC3 era, if siftydog is feeling really generous, we might get him to tell us in due course which day of the week it was?

I think you'll find Tullamarine only opened in 1970.

I'll go for a bit of history then: the place where Ansett started in 1936.
Hamilton?

The colour of the dirt and the type of scrub says Mallacoota to me.

Well done Checklist Charlie! Mallacoota it is, photo taken en-route to Merimbula which in Max Tow's well researched schedule was 30 minutes further on. CC has the helm.

Jeez - a First Nation Tracker on the scene.............. all sorts of talents on here............. ;)

Afraid I don't have access to my airfield pics, so open house everyone.

OH has been called... I don't think this will last long.

Before you send us off across the ditch, your earlier photos tell of happier times.... as you probably know, the Mallacoota area was devastated by the bushfires just over a year ago. The airport was the focus of an evacuation by the RAAF, followed by the RAN from the beach.
You might be interested in the following clip re these brave flyers (the second embedded video works better):

Looks like an Austrian Airlines Viscount? But the English language 'Unauthorised Persons not permitted etc.' sign would argue against Austria.
Couldn't be an early Manchester Ringway could it?

Both Taa and Ansett paint schemes had solid stripes along the window line completely filling the spaces between the windows, so I do not think we are in Australia.
Pity the photo's resolution is not good enough to read the name on the aircraft's nose, or recognise the pilot's cap badge. It looks like a BP logo on the refueling equipment though.

OK. so we might be in New Zealand.
The terrain looks fairly flat, so I'll take a stab at Christchurch.

The colour of the tarmac and type of trees says Whenaupai to me. Even if not, it's a great excuse to post this line up...is that a BOAC Comet at the end?

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....bca806bd7.jpeg

Max Tow sleuths to the truth!

NAC Viscount 807 sits resplendent at Whenuapai airport on a warm May 1964 day, the year before Mangere became operational. In response to the query on the B&W photo; yes, there was at least one Comet 4 visit to Auckland at that time.

Max Tow has control.

Thanks Siftydog. It seems that the Comet was a twice weekly service via SYD and at the time, the only jet able to get into Auckland before the new airport with its longer runway.
OH.

May I put forward this beautiful picture as the next challenge?

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....c5ab4e5f8.jpeg

A G560 - and an image that's been used a lot IIRC....................... but where???

Western USA?

Your guess is as good as mine,
I also don’t know the answer.
Only clue I can give is that the runway nr is 15-33.

Wot Flaps up already?

They did such a great job Photoshopping away a great long selfie stick and arm out of the front windo, so maybe they did the flaps too. :E
Great photo.

You will have to wait till 21:00 pm whether your claim can be granted.
Untill then I advise to look into alternative proposals!

Sorry, although a suitable candidate at first sight I think Heathrow’s runway 15-33 was probably closed before the first flight of the G650.

Ha! Well then it is probably west of the Mississippi - 15/30 seems to be more common as you go north & West in the USA

As56, 15/30 not very common...

15/30, that's a 'kinky' runway.

In the mean time I have found the answer myself.
That enabled me to give some more clues:

As soon as I saw your latest I thought I'd seen it somewhere. Pretty sure it's Page, AZ.

Definitely Page KPGA.
